It seems like polygamy as its practiced in the US and Canada is great - if your a guy.

In BC we have a large commune/cult/church whatever you want to call it. Although most media go there with their mind made up and film as negative a segment as they can, the most compelling arguements against it are from kids who have 'escaped.'

What the rest of call rape, exploitation, subjugation, abuse, brainwashing is all part of the 'life' in a polygamist society. I've got no issue with adults in a consensual relationship with multiple wives but thats not the whole story. How would you like to have your daughter married off at 13 to some 50 yr old overweight fraud calling himself a prophet?

Interestingly there is an HBO series that debuted last night about just such a family.
